The author has studied prevalence and course of endocrine disturbances in young men of premilitary age, living in an iodine-deficient region. At profound inspection of young men at the age of 16–17 years (280 persons) the researcher has estimated the interrelation of indicators of physical and sexual development with presence of goiter diseases. The augmentation of a thyroid gland of I degree is oserved in 1/3 surveyed teenagers. The article establishes positive connection between THG level rise and testosterone level decrease in conditions of iodine deficiency; unlike physiological development there is a maturing dissociation of sexual development. Even insignificant iodine deficiency inevitably leads to formation of the general adaptic syndrome. The thyroid gland augmentation in overwhelming majority of cases was accompanied by accenting type of interpersonal relations. Prescription of potassium of iodide (200 mcg/day) resulted in normalization of the vegetative status and overall health improvement, which was ascertained at repeated inspection of teenagers in 6 months time.
